Packing List

We’ve provided packing recommendations below; however, equivalent items work just fine. We also offer many items for sale via our Gear Store. Some items are available for rent from Moondance on the Parent Dashboard under Forms. These items are marked with an “x” in the appropriate column. Gear rentals will be sent with your leaders and will be there upon arrival to your trip. Please note - there will be no time to do laundry on this trip so please pack accordingly.

Packing Tips

In the event that your luggage is delayed or lost in transit, we want you to be prepared. Therefore, wear tennis or hiking shoes on the plane. Plus, pack the following items from this packing list in your daypack / school backpack carry-on:

  • A change of clothes (underwear + t-shirt + shorts or pants)
  • Your rain jacket

These items are already included in the packing list – they are not additional items!
